Honor Connor Walk and Talk for Hope
10.10.26
In recognition of World Mental Health Day, we come together to walk, talk, and connect — creating space for the conversations that matter most.
What Is Walk and Talk for Hope?
Walk and Talk for Hope is an annual event held on or around October 10 in honor of World Mental Health Day. In previous years, this gathering took place the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Beginning in 2026, we’ve moved the event to align with this global moment for mental health awareness.
More than a single event, Walk and Talk for Hope is a practice—one you can return to all year long. Whether you join us in person or walk and talk in your own way, it’s a simple, meaningful way to support connection, emotional well-being, and hope.
Invite a friend, bring your family, or gather a group—and make space to walk, talk, and connect.
You can learn more about why this movement matters in our story on walking together.

Join me- Allie, SMPAC’s Executive Director- for a conversation about what matters most to you this season.
We Are More Than
A Stage
When you're at SMPAC, something happens. Strangers become neighbors. The music pulls you to your feet. By the second song, you're dancing and so is everyone around you.
Bring a blanket. Grab your people. Find your spot on the lawn as the sun drops behind the hills and the stage lights come up.
This is outdoor performance the way it's supposed to feel: intimate, electric, together. No bad seats. No velvet ropes. Just great music and the people you came with… plus a few thousand new friends.
Be part of it all
SMPAC exists because of people like you.
